York Vacation

We had an excellent trip and the house we rented came exactly as advertised. Both the owner and property manager were very responsive. York is a great family friendly vacation spot and the location of the house was perfect for what we needed.

Wonderful vacation at a wonderful cottage!

The cottage was in a perfect location for us with family around us. Beautiful views on the porches, clean and quiet. One bathroom was the only downside, but we made it work! Would definitely make this our vacation spot again and yes, the cooler with more gifts inside was an awesome cottage welcome!

everything you could want

We loved staying here. The attention to detail by the owners; Colleen & Gary really made the stay wonderful. The decor was beautiful and we loved having two porches. We were worried about noise (there's a restaurant nearby - Stones Throw, which is also wonderful) but it was quiet in the evenings. Joan is their property manager and the place was spotless when we arrived. We met her and so happy we did! We've been staying on Long Sands for 10 years and this was by far, the best suited, comfy, filled with amenities and we even received a gift basket with 2 bathrobes (to keep!). Thank you Colleen, Gary & Joan for a wonderful, welcoming, relaxing stay.

We started from scratch and replaced all of the furnishings and contents. Its beautiful in York Beach Maine with so many things to do, and no need for a car. We hope you will enjoy it too!
